Awwww! Have fun at the game SL. Hopefully it will stay dry for you!
Well yesterday Football game, It was homecoming and all hell broke out we lost 63 - 0 and after the game one asst. coach used profanity for the thrid time this year and the head coach told all the players they where worthless needless to say the one using profanity had a ear from all the parents and was told he is no longer welcome on the field by the governing body also the head coach is in alot of trouble for talking to the kids in that manner.
My wife took alot of pics and once she has time to download I'll post them walking with there escort and how they looked.

I have no ideal all I know these are 8-9 years old kids that have never played a down of organized football. Man all I wanted to do was kick the living **** out of them. I have two sons that plays on that team and they do not need so bumle head guy tell them they are worthless people because they make mistakes in the game. I do not do that to any of my student and would not let any instructor that works for me do it either.

Amazing, this is not something that is just in one or two locals then. A friend of mine told me that her grandson who is 9 plays rocket football up here in Michigan. She also said that the coach talks so mean to them and berates them constantly. The coach also said to the parents that he is gruff and rude but that he will say exactly what the **** he wants and that parents can approach him after a practice or game if they have a ******* problem. She says that it is pretty wild the way these coaches are living out their dreams through the kids.

We do not have this attitude by coaches in soccer or basketball up here. it does seem to be football specific. Maybe these coaches are just thinking in their heads that they are a college or professional coach. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: If that is the case then they are a joke! :rofl:
I imagine that youth Hockey can get a little rough with the coaches as well but I have know knowledge on this.

Brian I'd wind up in jail or at least being taken to the station to talk to the Chief of whatever "burb" I was in....

I think that coaches in general and particularly the ones coaching younger kids need to understand that the game is for the kids and that their job is to help those kids succeed and have a good time doing it. They are not professional or collegiate coaches and swearing, berating players just does not cut it in my opinion.

Drac,
I think that from what I am hearing that this is more the norm in young kids football than the minority. It is a little disturbing. What is funny is that I cannot remember any of my football coaches in school even swearing. I think that the dynamics have changed in some way.

Drac, I am sure they probably swore some but I do not remember them doing it. Needless to say I think the current group of coaches out there are swearing alot more and berating their players just like they see the collegiate and professional coaches do on TV. I base this just on what I am hearing from other parents and what I am hearing here as well. Having said that I am sure that there are alot of great coaches teaching the right fundamentals and the right way to kids as well. However, all I am hearing lately is that the caoches are trying to relive their glory days and are a little power happy.
Yes, I agree....The coaches we had back then were older and more disciplined, many were Vets with a set of ethics instilled in them BACK when parents and Teachers use to REALLY discipline their charges without fear of 696-KIDS beig called..
